Peacock’s new comedy series Dig just became even more exciting. Fina Strazza, the freshly nominated Tony Award winner and Broadway breakout, has been added to the cast, and her introduction seems a significant victory for the show.Written by Amy Poehler and Mike Schur, Dig is a character-based comedy about an archaeological excavation in Greece and is already making headlines for its quirky concept and its star-studded writing and production team. It is going to become one of the most anticipated shows on Peacock next year.Strazza will portray Patsy (or Patty) in Dig, a college assistant to Neville (Hugh Laurie's character), who brings fresh energy to the cast. Although Strazza has already established herself on stage and screen, including a memorable performance in Netflix's Fear Street, this role is an indication of a big leap into streaming stardom.Who is Fina Strazza?Fina Strazza - Source: GettyFina Strazza is not a newcomer to the spotlight, so it is not surprising that her name rings a bell with people. Her Tony Awards nomination in 2025 for John Proctor Is the Villain, proves that she is already creating a splash on Broadway, and she is not even old enough to rent a car.Strazza impressed audiences first as the young lead of Matilda the Musical at only 8 years old, becoming one of the youngest actors to play the character on Broadway. Since then, she has been involved in a broad range of work, including Netflix's Fear Street: Prom Queen to genre series such as Paper Girls, as well as appearing on Law & Order: SVU.In Dig, she is now playing the role of Patty, an inept clumsy undergrad who is so out of her element at a Greek excavation site. It is a role that borders on fish-out-of-water humor, unexpected charm, and laugh-out-loud scenes, which Strazza has the potential to execute with a sense of ease and natural flair.Dig’s delightfully wild world View this post on Instagram Instagram PostDig is already a hit, because let’s face it, it’s not every day a TV series is based on an archaeological uncovering. The plot involves four women who find themselves at different points in their lives, bringing them to Greece, where their mundane jobs become a life-or-death puzzle. And, of course, a conspiracy is at play.Led by Amy Poehler, who is also an executive producer and writer of the show along with Mike Schur and J.J. Philbin, it features an impressive lineup. There is also the presence of Hugh Laurie as an insanely passionate professor and Geraldine Viswanathan as an important member of the excavation team.Fina Strazza's Patty is the lovable wild card who is enthusiastic to the point of being overwhelmed and completely unprepared for life outside the U.S. This is a wonderful opportunity for Fina to demonstrate her comedy chops and add a fresh dynamic to the ensemble. What can be expected from Peacock's new series Dig is a mix of excitement, humor, and adventure that combines Indiana Jones and The Office vibes.For more such insights on Dig, keep following Soap Central.
